Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream Frosting

These delicious strawberry cupcakes are the ultimate strawberry indulgence. With soft jam centers, a luxurious strawberry buttercream frosting, and adorned with a fresh strawberry. The perfect recipe when strawberries are in season. You can also use frozen strawberries during the rest of the year. This is a simple, easy and effortless recipe. It uses my one bowl mixing method, that you will love.

Can you Believe These are Made with my One Bowl Cupcake Recipe?

How gorgeous do these cupcakes look? I mean if I told you that I spent 5 minutes on the batter – would you believe me? No!! Well, I did make these with my one bowl cupcake recipe. You remember my one bowl vanilla cupcakes? So, this strawberry cupcake is a little twist to that vanilla cupcake recipe.

I am very sure that by now you know how I feel about baking from scratch. It’s simple, easy and of course the best. So, I always encourage everyone to bake from scratch. No, I have nothing against box mixes. You can use them. That’s your call. And yet, I prefer baking my recipes from scratch. So, if you love baking from scratch, this blog is the place for you.

Furthermore, in an effort to encourage everyone to bake from scratch, I have created these simple, easy and almost effortless recipes – mostly using one or two bowls for the process. And, I hope you will find them easy and enjoy baking with me.

Now, the secret to success with one bowl recipes is the temperature of your ingredients. I have written about this in other recipes too! So ensure your ingredients, especially butter and eggs, are at room temperature.

Unsalted butter – I always prefer unsalted butter so I can control the amount of salt. And yet, you can use salted butter too. If you do use salted butter just omit salt in the ingredients.

Pink food color – The cupcakes usually do not become pink – especially if you have a deep orange color egg yolks. So pretty pink cupcakes are usually obtained with artificial food colors. I like to use a few drops of pink. And yet, if you prefer you may omit the color.

If you bake often, it would be a good idea to invest in a cake mixer. Because often we try to mix by hand and then we are too tired to give it enough creaming or mixing. So if you are making this buttercream go head and remove that K-Mix or Kitchen Aid from your kitchen cabinet. You don’t have to buy an expensive stand mixer, a simple hand mixer works great too.

Having said that, a simple Bowl, whisk and Spatula with a little extra elbow grease will do too.

Personally, I believe in weighing ingredients by weight, which makes my kitchen scaleone of the most valuable items when baking. The same goes for mymeasuring cups and measuring spoons. It’s always a good idea to have these handy and use them when baking rather than trying to guess measurements.

Also, it is important to buy cupcake linersfrom a trustworthy source to prevent peeling. There is nothing worse than to bake good cupcakes or muffins and then have all the liners peel off.

Additionally, you can use a measuring cup to ensure you divide the batter evenly among all the cupcakes or muffins. That way all your cupcakes will be a similar size. Personally, I love using my cupcake scooper for that purpose.

A good baking tray is always important. Try using a light colored baking trayBaking tray. Another option is to line the baking tray with Parchment Paper for easy clean up just in case of spillage.

Every oven works differently. So the baking times are just guidelines. In case of muffins and cupcakes, it’s often a good idea to rotate the baking tray mid-way the baking so they cook and rise evenly.
